Crochet Maxi Skirt
This pattern offers a fun and rewarding project that allows you to express your personal style while enjoying the relaxing process of crochet. The finished result? A gorgeous, one-of-a-kind skirt that’s sure to turn heads and make you feel fabulous!
Materials Needed:
- Lightweight yarn
- 4 mm crochet hook
Pattern Overview:
- This crochet maxi skirt is designed with a two-row repeat pattern, which forms a part of the skirt after the initial band is created.
- The skirt works up relatively fast and is perfect for those who are familiar with basic crochet stitches.
Pattern Instructions:
Starting Chain
- Measure your hips.
- Create a foundation chain that is a multiple of 10. In the example, 160 chains are used to allow the skirt to be loose rather than tight.
Band
- Join the chain with a slip stitch to form a loop.
Row 1:
- Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet), work one double crochet in each chain around.
- Slip stitch to the first double crochet to join.
Row 2:
- Chain 4 (counts as a double crochet and chain-1 space), skip two stitches, double crochet in the next stitch, chain 2.
- Repeat from to around.
- Join with a slip stitch to the chain space at the beginning.
For Row 3:
- Chain 3, make double crochets in each space and stitch around, making sure you end up with the same number of stitches as your starting chain (multiple of 10).
- Join with a slip stitch to the chain space at the beginning.
Body of the Skirt
Row 4 (Setup for pattern):
- Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch).
- Start creating clusters by working incomplete double crochets (yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull through two loops, leaving the last loop on the hook).
- After three incomplete double crochets, yarn over and pull through all loops on hook.
- Chain 3, skip three stitches, work a completed cluster stitch into the next stitch (three double crochets each worked in the same stitch).
- Repeat from to around. Join with a slip stitch.
Pattern Repeat
Row 5:
- Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), double crochet in the next two stitches, chain 7, skip the cluster and the chain-3 space, double crochet in each of the next three stitches. Repeat from to around.
- Continue repeating Row 5, alternating where you place your clusters and chains to create an openwork diamond pattern.
Completing the Skirt
- Continue the repeat until the skirt reaches your desired length.
- Finish with a row of single crochet around the edge for a clean finish.
Finishing Touches:
- Create a belt by chaining to your desired length, then working single crochets back across the chain. Weave this through the openings at the waistband of the skirt.
Final Note:
- You can add a lining if desired, depending on whether you'll wear it as a beach cover-up or as a regular garment.
